Tips on Grooming Your Beauceron

    Low Maintenance: When it comes to grooming, the Beauceron is an easy keeper thanks to his short, double coat. A bath every three to four months with a mild shampoo is all that is needed. Brush his sleek coat with a natural bristle brush or rubber hound mitt several times a week to remove dead hair.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Beauceron Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential part of everyday pet care. Combing really helps to keep your Beauceron dog's coat in good condition by taking out loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also serves to help to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a shining coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to lessen the need to bath and therefore decrease the frequency of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Beauceron dog are activities that help to reinforce the positive connection bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasurable and relaxed experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Beauceron

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will rely on each individual dog. Dogs tend to differ in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their more recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats frequently require much less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more easily.

    Some very short-haired dogs may not need standard 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to gently remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Canines should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should monitor the condition of their dog's coat, looking for any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a couple of minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.

Beauceron Information

The Beauceron is not a dog of extremes, but is a solid, balanced dog as befitting a true multipurpose dog ready to do a long day's work. Its body is powerful yet agile, its jaws strong, its gait fluid, effortless, and ground covering. The head is not held high when moving, but is lowered to the level of the back, as is typical of herding dogs. Its outer coat is straight, dense, and coarse, of medium length; this, combined with a dense undercoat, offers weather-resistant protection. An unusual trait is the presence of double dewclaws on the hindlegs, which seem to be a French tradition for herding and flock dogs. Although they serve no function, they were perhaps at one time associated with the best herders, and are now a breed trademark.

Beaucerons are uncannily intelligent and adept at any task involving learning, memory, and reasoning. They are courageous and calm, and make reliable, thoughtful guardians. This is an extremely loyal breed that is eager to please its family; however, if not properly trained, the Beauceron can run the family. Beaucerons are patient with children, but can be overwhelming to them or try to herd them. They may be wary of strangers and do not take to unfamiliar dogs. They can get along with other family dogs and pets.
